It's been four months since DeepSeek released R1, and I'm curious why there's been no news on R2. With other companies like Google launching Gemini 2.5 and OpenAI's o3/o4 mini, it feels like DeepSeek is falling behind. Are they possibly working on something major, or are they really just experiencing delays?

Honestly, it's only been four months since R1, which is not that long in the tech world. Maybe they're cooking up something groundbreaking instead of rushing out a new version just for the sake of it.
Exactly! Sometimes it's better to wait for a solid product than to push something out just to stay competitive.
Give them a break! It's not like they're a huge AI powerhouse like Google or OpenAI. They probably don’t want to rush out something subpar. Quality over quantity, right?
Definitely! I’d rather they take their time and release something amazing rather than just follow the crowd.
Totally agree! Plus, who knows what kind of improvements they could be working on.
I hear you, but remember they didn't officially announce R2, so technically there's no 'delay'—just a lot of speculation. The buzz might be just that—buzz.
True! It’s interesting how much hype can build around something that hasn’t even been confirmed.
Haha, I love the conspiracy theories! But you're right, without an actual announcement, people are just guessing.
They might be facing some challenges figuring out the next steps. 4 months isn’t too long when you're trying to innovate—you don't want a rushed product.
Yeah, it’s a good point. Building a new model is complex, and issues can pop up that delay timelines.
For sure! It's better for them to wait and get it right than to push out another version too quickly.
Right? Let them take their time to build something better instead of just meeting deadlines.
